rockitdoc Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) The starter in my '41 Connie has trouble turning car over. Battery is fully charged. Cables are large and clean with good contact. New solenoid. Starter is rebuilt but unknown by whom. Begin investigation with starter for troubleshooting? Crap. Wrong forum. Sorry.

DAVID BABCOCK Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I HAD THE SAME TROUBLE IN A JOHN DEERE TRACTOR. NEW BEARINGS IN THE STARTER FIXED IT. DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Mereness Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Think OO battery cables and grounding - you need good clean grounds - also starter much ground - think metal to metal contact (often too much paint on everything - ex. I saw my bell housing the other day and someone had painted the mounting surface for the starter - 20 minutes with an exacto knife and sandpaper later ....

TerryB Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Get the starter tested, a professional restoration shop that posts on this site just found the rebuilt starter as the problem they were having similar to what you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFitz Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Yup, "rebuilt" doesn't always mean done right. I had a '33 generator rebuilt by a pro auto electric shop. They did a beautiful job,.... except it wouldn't charge. I opened the dust cover and found out they forgot to hook the wire to the third brush. It's the assumptions that always come back to bite you.
